文摘

Quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) measurements have been performed to characterize at the molecular level the diffusion of CH₄ adsorbed at various concentrations in ZIF-8. This allows to compare for the first time diffusivities obtained in a MOF by microscopic and mesoscopic techniques. The good agreement which is observed between the different methods shows that there are no defects obstructing diffusion, which is often the case in zeolites. Even if the effective size of ZIF-8 windows is larger than the diameter derived from crystallography, the characteristic time for intercage diffusion (鈭糿s) is much longer than the time between jumps within a cage (鈭?0 ps), indicating that the organic linkers severely hinder molecule passage.
